Terrorism a type of violence designed to achieve the attackers' goals not by using overwhelming force but by causing fear in the opponent

• Terrorism occurs whenever.
• The attackers do not have much care.
• Terrorists have the power to attack anytime, without any fear because of what they are doing they are risking themselves for their country or their government. Such as 9/11 where there were the suicide bombers on the planes.
• Terrorism occurs when people have been stripped of their land or rights and feel they have to get back
• People in terrorism may say they are being violent now, but good will come out of it. This is false
• Violence of terrorism is usually put upon innocent civilians instead of the actually people they feel harmed them
• Religion and other beliefs are a big part of violence in terrorism because of the different opinions of other people
